The stops in time order
A list with a clock time on each line, not a map you have to decode. Every stop says in one or two sentences what it is and why it is on your day.
Independent travel in Korea
Every day in Korea, figured out before you land.
Tell us your cities, your dates, and how far you want to walk. You get one page for each day with the stops in the order you walk them, the exact train or bus between them, what things cost, and the hours places are really open.
What you get
Six things on every day sheet.
Not a mood board and not a list of famous places. The page answers the questions you would otherwise answer on your phone, standing on a corner.
Korean names and Korean addresses
Each place carries its Korean name and its Korean address next to the English, so you can hand the line to a driver instead of pronouncing it.
Two places to eat, or none invented
Each meal names the dish and usually two shops we could verify. When we cannot verify a shop we print the dish and the neighbourhood and say so.
Photos of the actual places
From the Korea Tourism Organization's public data, shown as they are and credited. Not stock photography of somewhere that looks like Korea.
What you told us to plan around
The walking limit, the knee, the food you do not eat. Each one comes back as a line on the sheet so you can see we read it.
One file that prints
A4 or Letter, a single file with the photos inside it. It works with no signal, which matters more on day three than it sounds now.
How it works
Three steps, and only the first one is yours.
-
Answer eight short screens
Cities, dates, who is coming with you, how much walking is comfortable, and what you do not eat. Most people finish in about four minutes.
-
We build the days
Your stops get fitted into real opening hours and real travel times, then the whole thing gets priced out so the day adds up.
-
You get the page
One file, as a page you can print or save to your phone before you fly. It holds its photos inside it, so it opens with no signal.
Pricing
Twelve dollars a day. You pay for the days you want planned.
No subscription and nothing to cancel later. If four of your seven days are already settled, pay for the other three.
3 days$36
5 days$60
7 days$84

Before you pay
Four things you can check yourself, right now.
You have no reason to take our word for any of this, so none of it asks you to.
The sample is the real thing
Open the Busan plan and read all three days of it. What you buy looks like that, with your cities in place of ours.
The price is on this page
Twelve dollars a day, with the totals spelled out above. Checkout does not add a fee on the last screen.
Nothing to cancel later
You pay once, for the days you asked for. There is no account and no renewal sitting in your card statement next spring.
The refund terms are short
Short enough to read before you order, which is the only time reading them is any use. Read the refund terms.
Questions
What people ask before they order.
Do I have to install anything?
No. The plan is a web page and a print file. There is no app to download and nothing to sign into.
Will it work without mobile data in Korea?
Print it before you fly or save the page to your phone. Addresses are written in Korean as well as English, so you can show a screen or a sheet of paper to a driver and get where you are going.
Is this a booking service?
No. We do not hold your hotel, your train seats, or your tickets. The plan tells you what to book and how far ahead, and you book it yourself.
Can you plan around a knee, a stroller, or a wheelchair?
Tell us on the order form and we keep the walking down and stay on step-free routes where we have the information. We say so on the page when we do not.
What if a day does not suit me once I read it?
Read how refunds work before you order, on the refunds page. It says what we do and do not cover.
How do I pay?
By card at checkout. Prices on this page are in US dollars.
Pick your dates and hand the day planning over.
Eight screens on your side, one printable page back on ours.
Twelve dollars a day. No account and no subscription.
